Today we continue our blog discussion. I am taking my CWI semester test 12:15-12:30 on Thursday.
South Sudan: Oil is the major reason for the fight between Sudan and South Sudan. They did not know how the two countries would share the oil. The first civil war was 1955-1972. The second one was from 1982-2005. Religion was aht started the first civil war. There have been almost 2 million ppl killed due to the wars and troubles the country had because of the war. Comprehensive Peace Agreement of 2005 was supposed to end the 2nd civil war and declare how they would share the oil. It would also develop their democratic gov't and setting a timetable for South Sudan's independence. It was succesful for ending the war. There was still a lot of conflict on how to share the oil, still to this day. Religion/ ethnicity is also an issue, but not the main one. South Sudan became an indpendent state on July 9th on 2011 and was made an indpendent country due to the signing of the paper. The "One Rescource Curse".
